At the sound of commotion, those who came out saw the scene of devastation, bloodied and chaotic. Some with weak hearts screamed or vomited, while others reached for their phones, seemingly considering calling the authorities. However, their attention quickly shifted to Duan Chengyuan at the center of the incident, leaving them hesitant.
The Xiaos were the first to react. They promptly took control of the situation, swiftly calming the chaos and dispersing the crowd.
At this moment, Duan Chengyuan's attention was solely focused on Ling Chunann. He hadn't noticed what was happening around him.
Duan Chengyuan had never held him so tightly before, and Ling Chunann felt like he couldn't breathe. Yet, he remained silent, allowing himself to be held.
After a while, Duan Chengyuan regained his senses. He loosened his grip slightly, took a deep breath, and apologized, "Sorry, darling, did Daddy hurt you?"
"No," Ling Chunann rubbed against him, "Dad, I'm fine."
While some found the father-son affection excessive, they didn't dwell on it. They simply marveled at Duan's evident love for his son.
However, Yuan Chengyuan, who had been standing behind Ling Chunann the whole time, clearly noticed the clear kiss marks on his neck when his collar accidentally opened. Even after Duan Chengyuan led Ling Chunann away, Yuan Chengyuan still wore a stunned expression.
Xiaoyuanlin waved her hand in front of Yuan Chengyuan's eyes. "Xiaoyue, what's wrong? Did you get scared silly?"
"No, it's nothing," Yuan Chengyuan finally regained some composure and then looked at Chifeng, who hadn't left yet due to the matter with the main leads. "Feng, I have something to ask you," he glanced at Xiaoyuanlin, "Can you step out with me for a moment?"
"Sure," Chifeng nodded.
Watching the mysterious pair shake their heads, Xiaoyuanlin began to ponder. Did she really see her uncle kiss her younger brother when they got into the car earlier?
...It must have been a misunderstanding.
After learning the truth from Chifeng, Yuan Chengyuan was absent-minded for a month before finally coming to terms with it. His first love, which hadn't even started, was unexpectedly taken by the father of his crush.
Once the mission was complete, Ling Chunann no longer cared about the main leads. However, since Duan Chengyuan said he wouldn't kill them, they wouldn't die. But knowing Duan Chengyuan's methods, their future wouldn't be easy.
Returning from the Xiao family villa, Ling Chunann spent a whole week in bed. In his words, "This luxurious life is just too great!"
098: "..."
As expected, Ling Chunann celebrated his twentieth birthday and successfully lived beyond the doubled time limit. But his appearance hadn't changed since he turned twenty, as if the side effects of the awakening charm began to manifest from then on.
Just as promised by Duan Chengyuan in the previous life, he found Ling Chunann early, cherishing and protecting him for a lifetime until Ling Chunann closed his eyes first. He touched Ling Chunann's youthful face and said, "Darling, I love you."
Although Chifeng was in his fifties with no visible wrinkles, his temples were gray. He had waited outside the door for a long time but received no response from inside. Worried, he pushed the door open.
He saw the warm sunlight pouring in through the French windows, two people, seemingly blessed by time, embraced in slumber, wearing the same warm smiles on their faces.
They had gone together in the end.
"Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. You have earned 6000 energy points from this mission and spent 1000 energy points during the mission. Your current energy points are 11000. The system store is open. Would you like to purchase items?"
The voice of 098 came, and Ling Chunann blinked, finally coming back to his senses. He glanced at the empty system space and said, "Start the next mission."
"Yes, host."
098 dared not inquire about the host's love life anymore. Even it, slow as it was, realized that the host's special treatment might have something to do with the special characters that appeared in these missions. In other words, whether it was Zeng Wuyue, Chu Yunge, or Duan Chengyuan, they were all figures it absolutely couldn't provoke.
It was better to cooperate with the host obediently and listen to the host's words seriously.
Ling Chunann didn't know what 098 was thinking, but he could feel 098 softening. In the past, 098 would have immediately asked if he had fallen in love with Duan Chengyuan.
But Ling Chunann could say for sure that he hadn't before. However, now, he touched his conscience and set aside the question.
Ling Chunann woke up from a jolt, hearing completely unfamiliar language around him, similar to English in his original world but not entirely the same. Yet, he understood.
"This is a Level Seven Mage. He will surely earn the favor of Lord Shenlong."
"He seems to be severely injured. If he dies before reaching the depths of the mountains, won't our trip be in vain?"
"Don't worry, I have some healing potions from the temple. He will definitely make it to our destination alive."
...
Ling Chunann coughed, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and struggled to open his eyes, only to realize that he seemed to be lying inside a carriage.
At that moment, a middle-aged man with brown hair, clad in a gray robe, lifted the carriage curtain and entered with a friendly smile. "Respected mage, I'm here to heal you."
With that, he produced a bottle of potion and poured it into Ling Chunann's mouth.
Clearly, his body hadn't been nourished for quite some time. Before Ling Chunann could react, he instinctively swallowed the liquid in his mouth.
A warm sensation spread through his limbs and body, causing Ling Chunann to close his eyes again. "098, update on the plot."
"Yes, host."
This was a western fantasy tale where humans, elves, dragons, dwarves, and orcs coexisted, with humans being the most numerous. Among humans, there were the untalented commoners and the gifted individuals, divided into swordsmen and mages. However, mages were exceptionally rare compared to swordsmen, and individuals skilled in both were unheard of.
The protagonist of this tale was a transmigrator from Earth, formerly a recluse, who, upon transmigration, became the only mage-swordsman in this world. This led to a series of adventures where he was pursued by numerous beauties, ultimately reaching the pinnacle of life.
In this scenario, Ling Chunann's role was that of a mage, a teenage prodigy named Kash Lant. At just eighteen years old, he had reached the seventh level of magehood and was the third prince of the largest human empire, the Lant Empire, making him a prodigious figure.
However, he was labeled as the main antagonist because he was the main protagonist's greatest rival. He not only opposed the protagonist at every turn but also imprisoned the little princess of the Lant Empire, preventing her from falling in love with the protagonist.
His fate in the end was uncertain.
The current plot had reached the point where Kash was defeated by the protagonist and betrayed by his own sister.
"It's quite challenging," Ling Chunann remarked. "What's the mission?"
"To ruin the protagonist's reputation and make him lose everything he values," 098 replied.
"Just that?"
"Yes, host."
After experiencing several worlds, Ling Chunann had realized that the missions he needed to undertake were often the deepest desires of the characters he portrayed. In this case, the overly kind-hearted nature of the third prince he currently portrayed was apparent.
Despite being mistreated by the little princess, she wasn't even on his revenge list.
However, Ling Chunann's immediate concern was himself. Unfamiliar with this world and with his body severely injured, he feared he might not last long.
"Host, would you like a healing potion? Only 998 points, and it will cure all your ailments," 098 once again exercised its salesmanship skills. Since Ling Chunann bound to the system, apart from the elemental token he sold last time, it had gained nothing. What was even more worrying was that in the previous worlds, out of sympathy, it had used up all its stock of healing potions for the host.
"You never asked for energy points before, 098. You've changed."
"..."
In the end, Ling Chunann received a bottle of healing potion from the reluctant but loving 098.
However, he didn't immediately drink it. Instead, he asked 098 to keep it for him. With everyone's level being no lower than the sixth, and some reaching the eighth, his fragile body, even in its prime, stood no chance of escaping, especially now that Ling Chunann had developed a keen interest in the dragon god mentioned by those people.
According to legend, dragons were the most powerful race on the continent, with lifespans that were astonishingly long. However, they were even rarer than the elven race, and there hadn't been any dragons appearing on the continent for nearly a millennium.
In the original plot, there was a beautiful dragoness who ended up in the protagonist's harem. However, according to the plot, at the point where Kash was defeated, that dragoness was still a young girl, easily deceived. Ling Chunann wasn't sure if the dragon god mentioned by those people was her.
Finally, the group stopped the carriage carrying Ling Chunann in an open space deep in the valley, muttering prayers. "Respected dragon god, this is the servant we've brought to you, a seventh-level mage, the genius of the Lant Empire. We hope you'll be pleased..."
They repeated the prayer several times, but received no response, their eyes betraying disappointment.
"It seems the dragon god isn't pleased with this offering. We're destined to return empty-handed."
"Does this mean we won't get the Dragon's Breath Grass?"
"I doubt there's even a dragon god here! Those legends are all lies."
"Sigh, even looking this good doesn't please the dragon god. This lad is useless. Dispose of him."
...
"Roar!"
Just then, a dragon's roar echoed from deep within the valley, causing the earth to tremble.
"It's, it's the dragon god!" The people were horrified.
At that moment, a massive black shadow rose from the valley. It was a pure black dragon, its eyes sharp as it looked at the humans, treating them like insignificant ants. It let out a cold roar, "Humans, leave my territory."
"Dragon god, we've come with a request..."
The dragon's imposing aura suppressed them. "Leave!"
"Quick, let's go."
"The dragon god is angry."
"Run for your lives!"
...
Listening to the terrified people fleeing, Ling Chunann leaned against the carriage wall, coughing lightly.
098: "Host, for your safety, I suggest leaving this place immediately. Failing the mission will result in energy point deduction!"
However, by then, the dragon had already stopped in front of the carriage, which was insignificant to it.
